Over the last few weeks there’s been a lot of speculation regarding which matches will take place on night 1 and night 2 with a lot of talk about the main event. This week on Friday Night SmackDown, WWE confirmed the opening match for WrestleMania Saturday when it was confirmed that show will open with John Cena vs. Austin Theory for the United States Championship.
